Manchester 108-year old Hilda Churchill becomes the oldest COVID fatality, a title she will held until it takes Bob Weighton.

Undergoes bowel surgery.

Hospitalized. As a pulmonary embolism and cancer survivor, he shouldn't be too safe...

Former Somalian PM Nur Hassan Hussein seriously ill in London with COVID-19. At 83 and already receiving treatment abroad for other health issues, he may become the first head of government to fall to COVID....

Manolis Glezos, hospitalized for severe gastroenteritis. Well, I missed the moment he was discharged.

I'm fine for now, though I can't exclude bad things could happen.

Yes, a title like "Olivia de Havilland, Vera Lynn and Prince Philip all die of coronavirus." D'oh!

Shall I suggest Indian freedom fighter and MP Bhabani Charan Pattanayak, who is currently in ICU after developing a cardiac issue? 97 and has been frail for some time.

Asymptomatic is pure bullshit. Let's say half of the country has it with mild symptoms (like a flu) which will get worse in some cases (hopefully not the majority). But you feel it when it's inside.

Yes, Germany health service is great. In Italy or Spain he would have been already dead.

Hamed Karoui, longtime PM for Ben Ali, has died at 92.

Great German chemist Rolf Huisgen has died at 99. Known as the father of click reactions, which is likely the only concept I find interesting about green chemistry. His pioneeristic work about alkyne-azide hetero Diels-Alder led to an incredible development in the field, including stereochemical control and use of Cu (I) as a catalyst (only works with terminal alkynes, Ru (II) would later work with internal alkynes too).

I confirm. Everuthing is good to evade from the pandemic.

It is horrendous and you know I'm living in a rabbithole of nightmares, but it could have been even worse. And I guess it will come sooner or later it will come. I just pray it does not happen during my lifetime.

The death toll in Italy is much higher than that as few people were tested before/after their deaths. Studying the total deaths it emerged it should be at least 13-14.000. Before you call me a bullshitter: 1)In Bergamo last year from 1 to 24 March there were 98 deaths 2)This year it's 446 deaths 3)Only 136 of these 446 have been classified as COVID deaths by the government. Death toll much much higher.... SOURCE

Come on, it is clear they are half brothers!

He was a great character! An overweight shaman with a cult following who firmly believed in Reptilians. One of the great conspirationists of last century, alongside Paul Hellyer. In his old age he carried a striking resemblance to E.T. and lost a lot of weight. Also he was a crossover between Robert Mugabe and Ragionier Filini of Fantozzi movies. RIP to one of the great!

Manolic didn't celebrate as he is deeply worried about both the pandemic and the earthquake that shocked Zagreb. He thinks he will have time later....

There is. Giving oxygen, eventually being on ventilator, antivirals, antibiotics, etc. If you receive and adequate treatment pneumonia is less likely to progress. Good care makes the difference.

It was caught early, so it does not pose a treat to Charlie's health. In the worst case he will be hospitalized for a bit. For precautional measure, he has been far from Philip and the Queen recently, otherwise it would have been very difficult for both of them to recover. And the Queen's death for COVID would have been a huge shock. Since I guess she is completely isolated that is not going to happen.

Yes, in an attempt to sensationalize something that does not need to. The virus killed Manu Dibango, Lucia Bosè and Terrence McNally. I can also understand the notability of Vittorio Gregotti (one of the most important Italian architects of last century), Germà Colon (a respected Catalan philologist) the Iranian politicians and some MPs of Italy/France/Spain. But the rest surely would not get an article if not for the fucking COVID and just pollute the recent deaths page. EDIT: and Lorenzo Sanz of course. The virus had a respectable score, even without exaggerations.

Ion Druță, Moldovan national author and poet, dead at 91.

Alberto Cirio fully recovered.

Former Real Madrid president Fernando Martin Alvarez hospitalized with COVID-19. Where have I already heard something like this....

Yes, see the post above. And... HOW THE FUCK DO YOU THINK WE COULD FORGET THE GREAT FREEMAN DYSON?
